AIBU to be turned off by unwashed hands and a small package?

I've recently been dating again after a bad experience and long break. I have known this person years and we have chatted quite often so the familiarity is there. 2 things: he has a very small package and the whole thing was just very awkward and it didn't really work. And after a random conversation it turns out that he doesn't wash his hands after going to the toilet (both a wee and poo). I'm really fussy with cleanliness and to me that is very basic hygiene.

AIBU to do a 180 turn on the whole thing? He is trying to make plans to see me this weekend as we speak. My friend says give it another meet up and see as sex is always very awkward at first but it's the hand washing thing aswell.

I mean ive had 11 inches all the way down to....well let's not go there. Soz but ive had the best sex with average or there abouts! Massive ones, not so much.
But if you prefer a massive dick then that's that, everyone is allowed their preferences.

The hand washing thing though............no

No one said people weren’t allowed preferences - I never said that. What I did say that is a smaller than average member doesn’t equal crap sex. If you think it does then one of you is doing it wrong!

His 'package'........😂

You mean his PENIS is small I presume? Well if it isn't big enough to satisfy you then why try again, it won't have grown since you last had sex.

The handwashing🤢....my husband said it was eye watering how many men walk out of the stalls, without washing.
Doesn't bear thinking about.

Oh good lord, no! Absolutely not. Putting everything else aside, would you want this man making you dinner every night with his pooh hands? The thought of it makes me shudder.
But, if you like him, cant you just speak to him? Maybe tell him that declaring that he doesnt wash his hands on what i presume to be first date setting is gross and he unlikely to find someone that doesnt run a million miles.

Its a definite no from me aswell, nobody wants a small peen that doesn't work. I just don't envy you the task of calling it off, what will you say?

I have no idea! I can't ghost as I've always chatted as a friend plus it's gutless really. Maybe the cop out line of just wanting to be friends.. it isn't really lying.

I can't work out why he would actually tell you he doesn't wash his hands? I think that says a lot about him actually, what sort of person he is.

The poor hygiene would really put me off. He's holding his 🍆 to pee or wiping his bum, not washing his hands and touching everything. I couldn't be able to cope. I'd be watching everything he's touching so I can sterilise it later. It's 🤮 and a huge turn off.

The little member wouldn't bother me as long as it touches the sides and he knows what to do with it.

This is me! Once I knew about it I was watching everything he touched. His reason is he doesn't "touch any poo" when wiping. Pardon.. and yes it did touch the sides but I just found the whole thing quite awkward and certain positions it just did not work whatsoever.

Yes the whole lot, penis and testicles that's why I said package to cover all bases. It was the smallest one I had seen.. I'm now wondering do I need to ask a man immediately on a first date about hand washing as I can't get past it.

He genuinely thought it was absolutely fine.. as he "doesn't touch any poo" when wiping.

Sex can get better a second time I’ve had this with an enormous penis, first time missionary it was meh second time amazing sex doggy style.

The hygiene I couldn’t get over and would be a huge ick for me.

starryeyess · 16/01/2026 16:36

When your title said small package I thought you'd had something in the post!

Don't go on the date OP, tell him you just want to be friends. If he asks why tell him you value cleanliness and can't get past the fact he doesn't wash his hands after going toilet.

JH0404 · 16/01/2026 16:37

The lack of hand hygiene is a hard no. It’s disgusting, you will end up with a nasty stomach bug. The small package wouldn’t have necessarily been a deal breaker if you really liked him, but not washing his hands after using a toilet is. There could potentially be traces of faecal matter on every surface in his home, not to mention preparing food 🤢🤮😷

How on earth did this come up in date conversation?

Mithral · 16/01/2026 16:40

Someone's e coli on my hooter isn't very appealing. Small package or not

Is hooter what you call your fanny? I always thought hooter meant nose!

BunnyLake · 16/01/2026 16:41

Imagine him making you a sandwich 🤢. He can’t control his size but he can certainly control his hand washing. A big no from me, but I would put the focus on his unhygienic ways as the main reason you're dumping him, because that is 100% his own failing.

Climbingrosexx · 16/01/2026 16:42

Tink3rbell30 · 16/01/2026 15:48

Yes I'm the same but have been called shallow for it. And no, hands and mouths don't make it up for it. It just doesn't work. The hand hygiene is just as big an issue. My friend think it's harsh of me to cut it off so quickly and also said maybe I'm asexual?!

What sort of standards does your friend have if she thinks you are being harsh? If he openly admits to something that gross i dread to think what he is hiding

wishingonastar101 · 16/01/2026 16:43

I guess you could get used to the tiny penis... I mean they are all going to stop working at some point and then it's back to our bunnies...

The handwashing.. you could fix him.

Is he rich enough though? Sorry, I mean nice enough?

How on earth did this come up in date conversation?

We were talking about our typical type of partner we go for, I said mine and I added but one thing that majorly puts me off is people who don't wash their hands after going to the toilet. He then said that he doesn't, why he doesn't and why it isn't an issue 🤯

I've been with my husband 20 years and I dont think I've talked about how he wipes after having a poo. How on earth did you get onto this topic?!

Now I'm even more disgusted thinking of his contaminated home, car, phone etc 🤢

Can't you tell him he's a lovely guy but you're not feeling it romantically? If it was just the handwashing you aren't keen on, I'd say tell him his straight that it's putting you off, but the sex sounds hopeless anyway.

Yes I think I'm going to go with this sort of explanation.
